The bridge will soon be closed-prob-
ably next Monday-for the purpose Of
putting in the new plank floor. A large
force will be put on so that its opening to
traffic again may be delayed as little as
possible. In the meantime the ferry
company will haIdie all of the business
between Davenport and Rock Island and
Moline and there is talk of putting on an
extra boat to accommodate the increased
business. The J. W. Spencer cannot
begin to carry all OF its passengers and
freight and that of the bridge beside.
Its trips will be made oftener, will
begin earlier and stop later, but even then
it is thought that another boat will not be
superfluous.
A new approach is being made to the
ferry and the dock on the Rock Island
side, and will be dropped down about tif-
teen feet so that teams may drive on both
before and aft. In this way, an immense
number may be accommodated each trip.
